A copy of no. 2003, in the autograph of Col. Roger Mostyn. Cousin Hugh Bodwrda has brought Mostyn's answer about the proposed arbitrament between Sir Owen and Gruffith Williams. Desires that friends may make an end of all variances in a friendly way, without noise or rumour; and those friends to be such as are of my Lord's kindred, or some of the Archbishop's servants in his best times, or such as are well acquainted with his handwriting, or, lastly, such as tender his credit now he is dead. Suggests Mr William Hookes of Conwy and Edward Williams of Wig, both honest gentlemen and qualified as above mentioned, and nearer to Gruffith Williams than to the writer. Should these refuse, the writer names Mr Richard Oakley, sometime servant to the Archbishop when he held the Seal, and whom the writer has not seen these 22 years. Desires cousin Gruffith Williams to name another. All lawsuits to be laid aside by both parties in the meantime. The lands in Huntingdon claimed by the writer not to be offered for sale until the intended reference (if it take place) be fully ended.

On behalf of a sister of the writer who has been a tenant of Wynn in Llanfrothen. Begs Wynn to re-establish her in the same tenement.

Advice with regard to Sir Owen's lawsuit. The Bill must be carefully grounded. Suggests that Lady Wynn shall be plaintiff with him.

Propositions in a marriage suggested between Sir Owen's son and Sir Thomas Myddelton's daughter. Sir Owen will settle on his son all the lands and inheritance of Sir Richard Wynn, dec., in Caernarfonshire, Denbighshire and Merionethshire (except the lands in Issaph and the lease of Llandudno, not exceeding £120 per annum, the dower of his wife, Lady Grace Wynn). Will settle a jointure of £500 a year on the young gentlewoman, whereof £400 a year will be for the present maintenance of the young couple. Expects £6,500 portion with the gentlewoman. A copy of no. 2012, in another hand.

Having failed to acquaint Griffith Williams with his interest in part of my late Lord of York's personal and real estate, expecting compliance therein without expense or lawsuits, the writer desires Williams not to execute conveyances of lands in Huntingdonshire, as Sir Owen is now resolved to have his cause brought to a full hearing.

Thanking him for sending his books; would have sent Wynn a catalogue of such books as he misses, but the fellow who was his man cannot be met with, and has it amongst many other papers belonging to the writer. If there are any other books in the neighbourhood they are part of the writer's small library. Is sure that not half of those that came into the custody of my Lord of York's man were delivered to the writer. Complains of these distempered and bedlam times, and thanks Wynn for endeavouring to repair his losses.

Expressing his obligation for past services and his readiness to repay the same.

Respecting the settlement of 'the difference between you and ye Lord of Northumberland. My brother Harry Wynn did it without me and contrary to my mind ... but if there were an agreement to decide all differences, I made no question but that you would comply with my Lord so far as to sell unto him what of your lands lay convenient for him. ... I desire that you will come to London as soon as you can ...'. Endorsed, in the autograph of Maurice Wynn: 'John Thelwall's letter about the treaty with my Lord of Northumberland'.

They have news in the Diurnal that the Scots are routed by Col. Morgan, so that Gen. Monke is retreated with the body of the army. The late King of the Scots is at Spaw, in Germany, where he is to meet the late Queen of Sweden and others. The Diurnal wonders at the meaning of the meeting of so many princes who are out of action. Sister Blanch is gone into Lincolnshire with her nephews, T. Meres and W. Dolben. J. Dolben has been very ill of late, but is on the mend. Removed bag and baggage from Caermelwr to Gwydir, and Sir Owen, contrary to all expectation, seems content at the removal. Nephew Richard was here three nights last week. Mrs Wynne of Botskallan is dead. The judge came here last night on his way to Glothith; he says that Sergeant Glyn is certain to be made Lord Chief Baron. The great suit between Ed. Vaughan and Lady Palmer is come to a special verdict, and he [the judge] seems to be for the lady.

'Your letter for my coming to meet you and the other gentleman at Vaynol, coming to mine hands after twelve o'clock, finds me engaged to two Anglesey men for the dispatching of several business not to be dispensed with'. Refers to business of a bond with Mr Richard Thomas.

Has received his letter, but is loath to lend him £100, for fear she cannot perform the same, for cousin Dolben, having been with Sir Even Lloyd to pay him the moneys she received from Caernarfonshire, made a treaty about another purchase.

Refers to some business with Williams's son-in-law concerning a conveyance of land.

Certificate that the Treasurers at War received a letter from the commissioners for the assessments in Caernarfonshire, signifying that Mr Parry, receiver-general for the said county, has not satisfied their acquittances, amounting to one thousand and eighty-six pounds and one shilling, part of the six months' assessment on the said county, from 24 June to 25 Dec. 1654, payable to Major Goodricke; and they mention, moreover, Mr Parry's allegation that he was with the Treasurer; rendering and perfecting his accounts, and they desire to know what further sums of assessment are due from the said county. These are, therefore, to acquaint Williams that the said Mr Parry has neither been at the Treasury before he received the Treasurers' orders for payment of the said sum to Major Goodricke, nor, since he received the orders, to perfect his account. The Treasurers conceive all moneys due from the said county by assessment have been charged on the said Mr Parry, either by warrants from the Committee of the Army or by acquittances signed by the Treasurers; but how much more than the said sum remains unsatisfied by the said Parry they cannot possibly certify, but must refer to their acquittances to be produced by Mr Parry. Endorsed: 'John Parry's business.'.

Has at last come to Chirk after only three falls, although his man had five or six. There were no strangers at the christening, only Sir Richard and my Lady. My Lord and Lady Herbert went away on Wednesday last.

Is still ready to pay Mrs Mostyn the £30. Hears she has had an administration of her late husband's goods, and has power to give the writer a sufficient discharge, which he expects on payment of the £30. If she be refractory he will proffer some suits against her and others.

His fear of the miscarriage of his last letter causes him to repeat his account of the business in which Sir Owen has instructed him. He addressed himself to Mr Speaker's servants in order to procure the letter mentioned by Sir Owen touching the post-fines. They satisfied the writer that this was not the proper work of the Speaker; whereupon, advising with Mr Sadler and others about it, the writer discovered that he must make application to the Commissioners of the Revenue. Mr Sadler has promised to deal with them in the matter. Has sued out a writ against Tudder.
